Arsenal's £86m new-look defence set for biggest test yet after Premier League announcement

Arsenal's final game before the first international break of the season against Brentford will go ahead, although the kick-off time has been changed.

It will also be the Gunners' first match since beating FC Zurich in the Europa League after last weekend's round of Premier League fixtures were called off as a mark of respect following the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday September 8th and the game against PSV Eindhoven subsequently being postponed.

However, there had been some uncertainty as to whether Arsenal's trip to the Brentford Community Stadium would be postponed as well given that the Queen's funeral will take place on Monday. But it was announced by the club and the Premier League that the fixture has received the green light to go ahead at a slightly earlier 12pm kick-off time.
